Followed by

Reception – Inauguration of the ABA Seoul City Chapter (ASCC)

3 hours of ABA CLE credit and KBA CLE credit will be available for attending this Seminar.

 

What is the ASCC and why should you join us?

The international reach of the ABA continues to grow. After Hong Kong and Tokyo, the ABA Section of International Law is now opening its Seoul City Chapter.

The goal of the ASCC is to make it easier for its members to stay connected with the ABA while living and working several time zones away from the US. The ASCC will foster networking, meeting, and education of ABA members residing in Seoul and in Korea in general.

The ASCC also welcomes non-ABA members who are looking to share ideas and discuss about issues of importance to all lawyers residing in Korea, wherever they are qualified.

The ASCC will also provide you with opportunities to become more involved in local and regional events, and generally get the most of your ABA membership.
